Jeremy Utley - God Desires Our Loyalty
Jeremy Utley · Apr 4, 2016 · 17m
The sermon explores the depth of loyalty God desires from His people, drawing heavily from Hosea and the Book of Joel. The speaker emphasizes that God values genuine, persistent loyalty over mere outward sacrifices or temporary resolutions to return. True loyalty, according to the speaker, means crying out to God in times of potential separation or struggle, demonstrating a desire to remain close to Him before falling, which is rooted in believing in His keeping power.

Partaking of the Glory of Christ - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 3, 2016 · 1h 24m
The message emphasizes that true Christian life involves actively growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ, which is evidenced by increasing reverence or the fear of God. The speaker contrasts the 'gospel of forgiveness of sins'—which only saves one from Hell—with the gospel of 'gaining the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ,' which requires continuous spiritual growth. This growth is necessary to avoid being an empty vessel before God.

The message encourages believers to strive to stand before God's glory blameless and with great joy, citing Jude 24. The speaker suggests two things that would bring such joy: completing all the good works God intended for them, and having Jesus Christ confessing them before the Father. Ultimately, the assurance that Jesus can keep believers from stumbling on the narrow path is presented as the key promise.

As He Is, So Are We: Part 1: Freedom From Fear - Santosh Poonen - March 27, 2016
Santosh Poonen · Mar 28, 2016 · 46m
The central message is that being a Christian means more than just admiring Jesus's deeds; it requires emulating the *manner* of his life. The speaker emphasizes that believers must walk in the same manner Jesus walked, which is a commandment. Furthermore, the standard is not just how Jesus lived on earth, but how he *is*—a reality of peace and authority that believers are called to reflect in their current lives.

God wants us to Build Fellowship (Picnic Sunday) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 27, 2016 · 33m
The central message is that the primary purpose of gathering on Sunday is to build genuine fellowship, which is more vital than merely hearing the word of God. True fellowship requires believers to walk in the light in their personal lives, as otherwise, the gathering will only amount to mere friendship. Jesus's prayer in John 17 emphasizes that the world will believe that Jesus was sent by the Father when His followers are united.

The speaker encourages diligence in knowing Scripture, citing examples of memorization and reading as spiritual disciplines. He warns against relying on personal strength or fleshly decisions, urging believers to be prudent and avoid giving opportunities to sin. The message concludes with a call to give oneself fully to God, mirroring the Macedonian church's example of giving first of all.

The New Covenant Life And Church (4 of 4) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 24, 2016 · 1h 26m
The central message is that God's ways and thoughts are vastly different from human understanding, and the ultimate goal for believers is to be conformed to the image of Christ. This transformation requires the Holy Spirit to change our thinking, moving beyond worldly pursuits like money or status toward genuine service and purity. True discipleship involves building a life that reflects Christ's character, not just accepting Him as a foundation.

Zac Poonen · Mar 24, 2016 · 1h 29m
The speaker emphasizes that every believer is a vital member of Christ's body, and God has a specific plan for each life. He urges listeners not to limit their service to merely attending church and giving tithes, but to actively seek out their unique function within the body. True ministry can be as simple as offering encouragement, which is a vital, often overlooked service.

The New Covenant Life And Church (1 of 4) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 24, 2016 · 1h 11m
The central message is that the church must function as the 'Body of Christ,' which requires every individual believer to maintain a direct, unbroken connection to Christ (the Head). This connection is superior to mere physical proximity or shared beliefs, as demonstrated by the analogy of a pianist's fingers working together through the head's control. A true body is built together like bricks in a wall, whereas a mere congregation is just a collection of separate parts.

Bobby McDonald - Being Diligent To Preserve Unity
Bobby McDonald · Mar 15, 2016 · 13m
The central message is the critical importance of diligently preserving unity within the church and in personal relationships. The speaker emphasizes that any division, no matter how small, must be addressed immediately, comparing it to a serious fracture that requires attention. True Christian living requires prioritizing fellowship and unity over personal preferences or doctrinal disagreements.

Jeremy Utley - Before You Come To Jesus, Go
Jeremy Utley · Mar 14, 2016 · 13m
The central message is derived from Matthew 5:23, urging believers to reconcile with anyone who has an issue with them *before* presenting any offering or dedicating themselves to God. The speaker emphasizes that the first step in spiritual dedication is reconciliation, not the act of worship itself. He warns against the flesh's tendency to self-defend or rationalize conviction, encouraging instead the humble submission of 'let it be according to your will.'

The speaker emphasizes that the Christian goal is to reflect Jesus Christ, which requires both personal purity and functioning within the local church. Drawing from Hebrews 7:25, the message highlights Jesus's eternal intercession for believers, using the analogy of a courtroom where Jesus defends the speaker against accusations. The core takeaway is the need to practice mercy and forgiveness by praying for those who have wronged us, aligning with God's will rather than our own feelings.

Bobby McDonald - From People Pleasing To Pleasing The Lord
Bobby McDonald · Mar 8, 2016 · 12m
The central message is the danger of people-pleasing, which creates a heavy, unsustainable burden that contradicts God's will. The speaker emphasizes that true freedom and rest are found not in trying to satisfy everyone, but in dedicating oneself to pleasing God alone. He uses the analogy of a yoke to illustrate that when we live for Christ, the burden is shared, making it light, unlike the heavy backpack of self-effort or pleasing others.

Bobby McDonald - Maximum Christians
Bobby McDonald · Mar 1, 2016 · 19m
The central message is the call to live as a 'maximum Christian,' meaning one's life revolves entirely around pleasing God rather than personal wants. The speaker contrasts this with the 'minimum Christian,' who only adheres to the bare minimum requirements or expects recognition for service. True discipleship involves freely choosing to be a slave to God, giving everything without expecting anything in return, exemplified by the attitude of Job.

Jeremy Utley - Growing In Concern For The Glory Of God
Jeremy Utley · Mar 1, 2016 · 12m
The central message is that Christian life should shift focus from merely crying out for personal deliverance to actively praying, "Father, glorify your name." The speaker outlines three ways to grow in concern for God's glory: first, obeying God regardless of the outcome, as exemplified by Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; second, fixing one's mind on God's ultimate purpose, recognizing that challenges are for transformation into Christ's image; and third, maintaining faith and hope even when deliverance is not visible.

Let Joy Be Your Testimony (Don’t Forget to LOL: Part 3) - Santosh Poonen - February 28, 2016
Santosh Poonen · Feb 29, 2016 · 58m
The central message is that the walk of discipleship must be characterized by joy, which is not based on perfect performance but on the reality of being redeemed by God's grace. True joy comes from understanding that our standing before God is based on Christ's cleansing blood and justification, not on our own merits or past failures. Therefore, believers should rejoice because they are God's inheritance and their ultimate home is in heaven.

Allow God to Break You - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 28, 2016 · 1h 15m
The message emphasizes the profound responsibility of parents to raise their children to be Godly offspring, citing Malachi 4:16 which states that the restoration of the fathers' hearts must precede the children's. True parenting involves prioritizing the spiritual life of the child—making them witnesses for Christ—over material success, and this work must begin even before the child is born. The speaker encourages the congregation to dedicate their children to God and to maintain a focus on spiritual maturity.

Bobby McDonald · Feb 22, 2016 · 11m
The central message is the necessity of devoting oneself completely to God's Word, going beyond mere study to a deep, personal devotion. The speaker emphasizes that true devotion involves a desire to live out what is learned, focusing on the quality of time spent meditating on Scripture for personal transformation rather than just accumulating knowledge. This devotion is presented as essential for spiritual growth and bearing witness to Christ.

The speaker encourages listeners to emulate the lives of those who have fully surrendered to God, drawing inspiration from biblical figures like Paul. He emphasizes that true spiritual growth requires not only observing godly examples but also diligently putting what is learned, received, heard, and seen into daily practice. A key focus is the ministry of intercession, urging the congregation to emulate Jesus' persistent prayer for the church's righteousness.

The speaker emphasizes that while there is no direct biblical command for child dedication, the act symbolizes presenting children as gifts from God. He draws parallels to Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac, highlighting that proper upbringing requires parents to actively teach their children to follow God's way. Ultimately, the speaker stresses that parents must model God's character for their children to learn what right and wrong are.

The message stresses the need for mutual respect, understanding, and practical consideration in maintaining a strong marital bond.

Bobby McDonald - Do All Things To The Glory Of God
Bobby McDonald · Jan 31, 2016 · 8m
The central message is that Christians should dedicate every aspect of their lives—both spiritual and secular—to the glory of God, following the principle of 1 Corinthians 10:31. This means seeking to live in God's will in every moment, whether working diligently, resting, or performing mundane tasks. By doing everything cheerfully and without complaint, believers can make every act a spiritual offering.

The speaker reflects on the difference between seeing the Lord now and seeing Him face-to-face, drawing parallels between physical necessity and spiritual pursuit. He realized that just as his flesh compels him to work to survive, he desires his spiritual life to have a similar urgent drive to seek God and learn from Him. The central message is the need for a persistent, compelling desire to press toward spiritual perfection.

The message emphasizes the necessity of knowing the Lord and pressing on to know Him, drawing parallels between John 17:3 and Hosea 6:3. The speaker stresses that true spiritual transformation requires cleansing the heart from sin before the Holy Spirit can indwell, contrasting this with the external miracles performed in the Old Testament. He warns against false prophets, advising the congregation to judge spiritual leaders not by their gifts or eloquence, but by whether they genuinely shepherd and serve the flock, as described in Psalm 23.
